PARENTS/GUARDIANS AND PBIS

Written by Super User on 08 November 2013.

To be successful, our behavior program needs to be a partnership between home and school. Throughout the school year the PBIS team will send updates and information about PBIS. We invite your comments, concerns and ideas to make PBIS work at our school.

Please support PBIS at Richland by:

Reviewing behavior expectations with your child.

Using the three expectations at home.

Providing positive reinforcement (rewarding good choices with compliments or quality time) at home.

Sharing comments or asking questions of PBIS team members.

Joining our Leadership Team or building teams to learn more about PBIS at Richland.

Throughout the school year, students will be taught how to behave according to the four expectations. Teachers will help students learn what the expectations “look” and “sound” like in every setting during the school day. These lessons will be re-taught and reinforced throughout the school year, and become a regular part of our instructional program.

What Is PBIS?

Written by Super User on 07 November 2013.

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an approach to teaching and supporting positive behaviors and meeting the needs of ALL students.
